VACATE TIL FIR SEATS.

The sheriff insisted that their resigna-
tons be made at once, else there would
be blood shed. The commissioners had
mistaken the temper of the mob and re-
fused, under the impression that the
demonstration was nothing more than
blustec, but the mob, intent on its pur-
pose, took fGrcible possession of the
commissioners ind with more threats
locked them in room, declaring 1t to
be their purpose IN starVo them into
submission. at the time OF the forcible
entry, one member, Martinez, left the
room and escaped from the building.
A delegation overlook him and

through the streets to the court house
and locked him up with his companions.
Finally, at tn expiration of five or six
hours, the mob permitted their
prisoners to go, but the concession
seemed to be ior purpose. As soon
a. the three Commissioners separated,
the mob. with the sheriff still at their
head, followed commissioner Scase to
his home. Scase was the proprietor of
the hotel at Pagosa Springs, and it was
here that be resided. The mob sur
rounded the hotel, and, taking Scase
again into custody. he was dragged

Since that time, the board has not met.

Tarred and Burned Alive.
From the Dublin Express.


A correspondent yesterday gave an &C
count of horrible occurrence which took
place at Monasterevan in connection with
the rejoicings of the Nationalist over the
release of Father Ryan. He says that, after
presenting Father Ryan with an address,
they had bonfire lighted in his honor in a
garden in the main street. While the bon
fire was blazing, and an efigy of Judge
Boyd was being consumed, some one in the
large crowd that had collected pulled ont a
round iron hoop that had been stuffed with
straw, and was dripping with boiling tar
and paraffine, which fell on a lad of fourteen,
knocking him down, and the boiling tar ran
over his head and down his throat The ex-
cited crowd, thinking the boy one of the
detached limbs that had fallen off the effigy,
kicked and jumped on him, yelling all the
while with half-crazed glee. The boy sue
cumbed a few hours after he was rescued.
The police were present, but could not stop
the burning of the lad. A telegram from a
Mayboro correspondent last night states that
an inquest was subsequently held, and a
verdict of accidental death was returned
The circumstances of the case, it is added
are not so shocking as they have been re-
ported

de Paul Academy closed yesterday and the
commencement exercises will take place at
the Theatre next Thursday evening. The in
struction in painting, drawing and fancy
work is a special department at st. Vincent's
The exhibition of the art classes is very
creditable one. The paintings in many in
stances show ability of high order. Even
the beginners show a nice perception of
colors, shading and figures.
The exhibition of decorative and fancy
work this year excels that of any former
year. Among the embroidered work is a
velvet window lambrequin IN raised plush
embroidery, by Miss Frederick Myers, of
Brunswick, one of the youngest pupils in
the class. A pair of velvet bannerrets
painted in oil, by Miss Hanna, are very
prettily done. Miss Rosa Kelley exhibits a
satin lambrequin and pair of satin sofa
cushions in chenille embroidery. Miss Josie
Miller has a pair of sofa cushion covers
painted in oil and unfinished; the design of
one is a bouquet of pond lilies and the other
of jonquils. Miss Josie McMahon has a
beautiful piece of work in painted table
scarfs. Miss Maggie McNish, Miss Name
PETER and Miss Teresa Savarese also exhibit
similar work Several paintings in oil by
Miss Carrie Miller and Miss Savarese, one
of the best executed being panel of flowers,
by Miss Sayarese, form an attractive part
of the exhibition.
Instruction in monochromatic painting is
one of the special features of the art classes
and two paintings, one by Miss Lizzie
Moriarity and the other by Miss
Annie Goette are admirably executed.
Both pupils have a number of exceedingly
well executed crayon landscape sketches
and head by Miss Goette is finely done.
A series of sketches by Miss Martha Helm
ken also form part of the exhibition. A
pastel painting and crayon landscape sketch
by Miss Maggie Conway are worthy of spe-
cial mention.
The work shows thorough instruction in
every department In the art classes most
of the work in oil is by pupils who began in
February and the drawings by those who
began in September. The special prizes
awarded upon the examinations will be an
nounced at the commencement.

TWO BOLD THIEVES.
Their Attempts to Possess Other Mems
Property and the Result.


The history of yesterday records the work
of two daring thieves whose bold attempts
were the talk of the two neighborhoods in
which they worked. The first occurred
early yesterday morning. Mr.. S. c.
Roberts, who lives at 116 Lincoln street, has
been sleeping on a cot in the parlor for two
weeks on account of sickness In his family.
A little after 2 o'clock yesterday morning he
awakened and found young mulatto boy,
apparently about Is or 10 years of age, in
the room, on his knees, reaching under the
cot for Mr.. Roberts trousers. Mr.. Roberts
sprang up and attempted to catch the thief,
but failed to do so, and the boy escaped out
of the window by which he entered. On
account of the warm weather the window
sash had been raised, and the thief had un-
fastened the blinds and crawled in.
The other, which was a successful piece of
work, was accomplished with a degree of
skill that marks the perpetrator as an actor
born, and doubtless with proper training he
would make an excellent Othello. Mr..
Frank 5. Einstein, o clerk with Smith
Bros, cigar dealers, at Bay and Whitaker
streets, was Sitting at desk in the rear por-
ton OF the store when a young negro came
in and took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves
and with the utmost GOODNESS and consum-
mate unconceln, began moving boxes about
as if he was a porter. When favorable
opportunity occurred he got four boxes of
cigars under his arm and throwing
his coat over his shoulders, walked
out of the store and started down Whitaker
street toward the Bay. An employee who
was looking out of the window of the MORN
ING NEWS building saw the man enter and
leave the building and concluded that there
was something wrong. He fastened across
the street and informed Mr. Einstein of
what he had seen. Mr.. Einstein imme-
diately started in pursuit of his erstwhile
porter, but only managed to get glimpse
Of him as he disappeared under the bluff.
The fellow had not played the first act Sc
well, to forget his lines in the second.

LED BY A Lawyers VOICE.
One Attorney Objects to Another's
Melodious Tones.

Melodious Tones.
The case of John Doe ex DEM Reuben
Dudley ct al. VS. Richard Roe l. e. Laura
Court yesterday. 1t is an ejectment suit
brought to recover possession of house and
lot in Gilmerville ward which the plaintiff
claims as heir to Stephen Dudley, deceased.
The testimony goes back to ante-bellum
days, and involves the question of the slaves
right to real property, all the parties being
colored.
AT one time in the trial of this case the
sweetness of the voice of Mr. j. r. Saussy,
the attorney for the defendant, was brought
before the court for its consideration. Mr..
Ravenel, the plaintiffs counsel, objected to
the manner in which Mr.. Saussy examined
one of the witnesses, saying that there was
a peculiar persuaSiveneSs to Mr., Saussy s
voice that led the witness to respond in the
affirmative, and he was affirming too much.
Mr. Saussy replied that he had not learned
before that he had very melodious voice
certainly no one thought SO when he
tried 90 sing, and he was sure if he made
the attempt there he would clear the court
room in a very short time; but if his voice
was melodious that was Mr.. Ravenel's mis-
fortune. He had a right to use his natural
tone-the Supreme Court had SO decided.
Mr.. Ravenel said that he was sure that
the court would see his point; that Mr.
Saussy's persuasive tone was leading the
witness always to the affirmative, and the
witness seemed only too willing to be led.
Mr.. Saussy retorted that Mr.. Ravenel
had no right to object to leading questions,
for that had been his course all through the
case and he Mr.. Saussy) had not objected
once, but he cautioned Mr.. Ravenel two or
three times soto voce. If he was favored
with melodious voice he could not help it.
Mr.. Saussy then went on with the exami-
nation, throwing his whole soul into his
voice and so filing it that even his honor
was touched and a smile played for mo-
ment around the judicial lips
